Catching up to local time - a day in Vegas! Day 1.

What do you do in Vegas with kids?  Well, I have to admit this is not my kids 1st trip to the strip - 
We were here just 1 1/2 years ago for a long weekend (stayed at Mandalay Bay at The Hotel).  I would highly recommend that hotel for families with kids-  We had a 2-room suite and the hotel has a wave pool, a lazy river, and is attached to an aquarium.  We traveled to the Hoover Dam, visited Ethel M candy factory, and we took the kids to a Cirque du Soleil show - Due to the government shutdown, we missed the opportunity to visit Red Rock Canyon and Mead Lake.

Flash forward to March 2015 :
Day 1
Today, was for relaxing, taking it easy, and acclimating to Pacific Time Zone.   We slept in to about 8:30am local time (11:30 EST) and made our way down to brunch at Bouchon around 10:30am - the kids raved about the Raspberry Beignets.   (We stayed at the Venetian this trip.)



The restaurant sits adjacent to the Garden Pool - where we actually spent much of our afternoon.   Even in this adult laden fantasyland, the pool was populated with a decent number of kids.

This was a great way to start our trip.  The kids love cities - we were able to rest, play, and enjoy a relaxed day before our hiking / skiing adventure began...
